<DIV><b>Budd Schulberg&rsquo;s Academy Award&ndash;winning screenplay, updated as a stage drama for modern audiences</b><BR><BR>First performed in 1988 and again on Broadway in 1995, Budd Schulberg and Stan Silverman&rsquo;s stage version of <i>On the Waterfront</i> may represent the purest incarnation of his classic story. Produced forty years after the movie swept the Academy Awards, the subtly modernized stage play was a call to arms for a new generation. With this rendition, Schulberg and Silverman hoped to reach young people who seemed detached from the dehumanizing effects of poverty and the exploitation of society&rsquo;s most vulnerable. Set in the 1950s and featuring original protagonists Terry Malloy and Father Pete Barry, <i>On the Waterfront</i> continues to stand as a masterful and uniquely American tragedy.<BR>&#160;<BR>This ebook features an illustrated biography of Budd Schulberg including rare images and never-before-seen documents from the author&rsquo;s estate.</div>
